THUNDER BAY – Food Now – There is no shortage of Sweet Corn in Thunder Bay. Our friends at Foodland Ontario share a recipe for Barbecued Quesadillas with Ontario Sweet Corn.
These quesadillas are ideal for lunch, a picnic or cut into wedges and served as an appetizer. They are great served hot or at room temperature.
Preheat barbecue to medium heat. In medium bowl, stir together corn, tomato, red pepper, Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheeses, ham, coriander and salsa. Lay tortillas on baking sheet. Spoon about 1/2 cup (125 mL) filling on half of each; fold over to form semicircle.
Place on barbecue, pressing top slightly; barbecue for 30 to 60 seconds. With wide spatula, carefully turn so as not to spill filling (don’t worry, a little will probably spill out). Barbecue for 30 to 60 seconds or until cheese is melted. Serve immediately, whole or cut into wedges.
